Any success takes one in a row. Do one thing well, then another. Once, then once more. Over and over until the end, then it's one in a row again.

— Matthew McConaughey
From the book Greenlights

Big things start small. It's easy to get caught up in trying to do everything at once, but you have to start somewhere. You don't need to complete the whole row today. Every sustained success starts with the first one. Sketchplanations started as one in a row.

After the first few successes, the power of streaks can take over. Oh, and never miss twice.

I created a series of sketches on getting started. Find them at: https://sketchplanations.com/categories/starting

Greenlights is full of fun stories. I highly recommend the audiobook of Greenlights with Matthew McConaughey's full-of-life performance—like no other audiobook I've listened to.

Telefónica, un acteur majeur espagnol des télécommunications, met en avant l'utilisation de la 5G, de l'IoT et de l'IA pour transformer les soins de santé. Au MWC de Barcelone, deux projets innovants démontreront comment ces technologies permettent de surveiller et diagnostiquer des patients à distance, efficacement.

Des solutions innovantes pour l'ophtalmologie et l'oncologie

Telefónica se prépare à dévoiler au MWC deux solutions de santé innovantes, centrées sur l'IoT et l'IA. Ces technologies utilisent les réseaux 5G pour transporter les données des patients en temps réel. D'ailleurs, cette approche permet de réduire la latence et d'améliorer la transmission des données.

Les dispositifs, CatEye et Pointcheck, ciblent respectivement l'ophtalmologie et l'oncologie. Le premier, conçu pour diagnostiquer les cataractes, permet de déterminer si une intervention chirurgicale est nécessaire. Le second, basé sur la surveillance des globules blancs, protège les patients atteints de cancer des infections. Ces solutions permettent de prendre des décisions de santé précises.

L'IA et la 5G pour des diagnostics plus rapides

L'intégration de l'intelligence artificielle permet à ces dispositifs de prendre des décisions autonomes. Comme pour le produit CatEye, l'appareil prend une photo des yeux et l'envoie à une IA via 5G pour analyse. De plus, cette analyse aide à déterminer si une intervention est nécessaire, sans consultation immédiate avec un spécialiste.

Cela permet aux ophtalmologues de déléguer certaines tâches aux appareils. Par conséquent, ils peuvent se concentrer sur des interventions plus complexes. En outre, l'utilisation de la 5G garantit une plus grande mobilité et une capacité de transmission optimale des données. Cela facilite l'accès au diagnostic même en zones éloignées.

Des projets pilotes et un futur prometteur pour la santé

Pointcheck, la solution destinée à la surveillance des patients atteints de cancer, est en phase pilote. Ce dispositif utilise la technologie 5G pour suivre en temps réel les niveaux de globules blancs des patients. De plus, il permet de prévenir les risques d'infections en alertant les médecins à distance.

Le réseau 5G facilite une interaction rapide entre le patient et l'équipe médicale. Effectivement, cela réduit les délais de transmission des données. Effectivement, ces technologies permettent une prise en charge médicale plus réactive et plus efficace. Ce qui contribue ainsi à la santé globale des patients.

La 5G comme catalyseur de l'innovation dans les soins de santé

L'utilisation de la 5G dans le secteur de la santé ouvre des perspectives immenses pour les soins à distance. Effectivement, la faible latence et la capacité de transmission étendue rendent ces technologies particulièrement adaptées aux environnements médicaux exigeants. De plus, cela permet une interaction plus fluide entre les dispositifs médicaux et les professionnels de santé.

Telefónica met donc cette technologie au service des patients et des médecins, et participe à la modernisation du secteur. Grâce à la 5G, l'IA et l'IoT, le diagnostic devient plus rapide, plus précis et accessible, même dans les régions les plus isolées, où les infrastructures médicales sont limitées.

Les initiatives de Telefónica au MWC montrent clairement le potentiel de la 5G pour transformer les soins de santé. Ces technologies permettent non seulement de diagnostiquer plus rapidement, mais aussi de rendre les soins plus accessibles à distance, avec un impact positif sur les traitements en ophtalmologie et en oncologie. L'avenir des soins de santé semble résolument tourné vers la 5G.

Cet article La médecine de demain est là : l’IoT, la 5G et l’IA transforment les soins de santé est apparu en premier sur OBJETCONNECTE.COM.

This week, Microsoft’s HoloLens took another major hit, potentially securing the end of the mixed-reality headset in the future.  

Following widespread device discontinuation reports and a roadmap of finality regarding its HoloLens technical support, Microsoft lost its last major lifeline with the loss of the US Military IVAS contract worth a reported $22 billion.  

While the HoloLens saw enterprise usage across its lifespan, the firm’s IVAS contract kept the device afloat in the previous few years as the marketplace matured and developed, with more vendors selling devices with similar functionality.  

However, and interestingly, the recent loss of the IVAS has seen Microsoft’s HoloLens division replaced by Palmer Luckey’s start-up, Anduril, a firm focusing on defence technology.  

Keen eyes will remember Palmer Luckey as the person who founded Oculus, the virtual reality start-up that Mark Zuckerberg acquired and eventually transitioned into the Meta and Reality Labs umbrella following Luckey’s departure.  

 Anduril is taking over developing and producing a mixed-reality device, following Microsoft’s work with the HoloLens-powered IVAS.  

Microsoft’s IVAS was not without its problems, through years of trail and error feedback came back negativey repeatedly; hwoever the prospects of a MR device for on-field defence perpurses is to appealing for the US military to drop entirly.  

But since Microsoft’s slow decline in support for HoloLens, which can be traced back to Alex Kipman’s distancing in years past, led to the more recent discontinuation of HoloLens, replacing HoloLens from the US Army contract makes sense as a more secure hardware partner is most likely crucial for IVAS success.  

While the prospect of Anduril joining the IVAS development cycle seems secure, the US Army notes that final agreements are still being worked out.  

Microsoft is not absent from the project. Notably, Microsoft Azure will remain attached to the IVAS project, giving cloud computing support for IVAS MR and AI technologies, in part proving Microsoft’s place as a backend framework provider for the emerging XR market, a strong position.  

As part of the Anduril IVAS deal, the firm notes aligned partnerships with OpenAI and Palantir to integrate AI training features into the project. Moreover, reports suggest that the IVAS contract could reach $28 billion in the future, a valuable asset for the Oculus founder. 

Microsoft Receives Final Updates

Following its official announcement about the last chance to purchase, Microsoft has launched the final major feature update for HoloLens 2 ahead of its discontinuation in December. The device will continue to receive minor security and stability updates until 2027. However, this most recent update represents the last significant change, fundamentally altering the framework of the HoloLens 2.

The latest update introduces new system text size settings, allowing users to adjust the size of the Start Menu UI with the option to scale text up to 200%. Users can skip the eye calibration setup during first-time activation, simplifying the initial setup process.

Two new applications have also been added to the headset. First, WinGet integration enables users to download Microsoft Store apps after the storefront’s retirement. Second, integrating the OneDrive PWA application gives users an improved cloud-sharing tool.

Along with these significant updates, the release includes various bug fixes and security updates, reinforcing Microsoft’s commitment to keeping the device secure for businesses following the last purchase opportunity.

As part of the last-time-to-buy initiative, Microsoft will sell the remaining HoloLens 2 units on a first-come, first-served basis. These units will only be available directly from Microsoft or through official resellers. Warranty and customer/developer support will remain unchanged despite this announcement.

Although this news may seem like the end for HoloLens 2, Microsoft will continue to support the device through security and major functionality updates until December 31, 2027, including this latest update.

In conjunction with the last-time-to-buy announcement, Microsoft informed its HoloLens/Mixed Reality Partner community that the first-generation HoloLens headset will receive its final update on December 10, 2024. This follows a multi-year, Long-Term Servicing state for the legacy device that began in 2021. After the final update on December 10, 2024, HoloLens 1 devices will no longer receive security or software support.

Les équipes de cybersécurité chez Microsoft ont remarqué l'émergence d'un nouveau groupe de pirates lié au renseignement militaire russe. Ces pirates sont proches d'une unité connue pour ses attaques destructrices.

Le Sommet pour l’Action sur l’intelligence artificielle s’est tenu à Paris du 6 au 12 février 2025, réunissant chefs d’État, entreprises et experts du secteur. Entre ambitions politiques et annonces stratégiques, cet événement a mis en lumière la volonté de la France et de l’Europe de se positionner comme une alternative aux dominations américaine et chinoise en matière d’IA.

Ce sommet se déroulait dans deux lieux symboliques : le Grand Palais, où régnait une ambiance politique et institutionnelle et un accès réservé à un nombre limité de participants, et à Station F qui accueillait l'écosystème d’entrepreneurs et qui affichait complet.

Sur le plan politique, Emmanuel Macron a réaffirmé sa volonté de faire de la France un leader en intelligence artificielle. 58 pays, dont la France, l'Inde et la Chine, ont signé une déclaration pour une IA "ouverte", "inclusive" et "éthique". Mais les Etats-Unis et la Grande Bretagne n'ont pas signé.

Sur le plan économique, on retiendra parmi les annonces marquantes : 109 milliards d’euros investis en France, notamment pour la construction de data centers, un objectif de formation de 100 000 data scientists par an en France et 200 milliards d’euros d’investissements européens annoncés par Ursula von der Leyen.

Côté entreprises, Mistral AI a été la grande vedette du sommet, avec des annonces de partenariats avec les télécoms. Free, Orange et Bouygues Telecom vont intégrer de l’IA générative dans leurs offres.

Enfin, côté people, Sam Altman (présent) et Elon Musk (absent) se sont livrés à une joute sur X autour d’une hypothétique acquisition d’OpenAI.

Sur le plan réglementaire, l’Union européenne semble vouloir assouplir ses restrictions afin de ne pas freiner l’innovation. Toutefois, les enjeux de cybersécurité, de désinformation et de déstabilisation politique restent préoccupants, comme l’a rappelé le scientifique Yoshua Bengio.

L’IA est plus que jamais au cœur des enjeux économiques et géopolitiques mondiaux. Reste à savoir si l’Europe pourra réellement imposer une « troisième voie » face aux modèles américain et chinois.

If you’re taking any medication, you probably need to take it in a certain dose on a certain schedule. It can quickly become difficult to keep track of when you’re taking multiple medications. To that end, [Mellow_Labs] built an automated pill dispenser to deliver the right pills on time, every time.

The pill dispenser is constructed out of 3D printed components. As shown, it has two main bins for handling two types of pills, controlled with N20 gear motors. The bins spin until a pill drops through a slot into the bottom of the unit, with the drop detected by a piezo sensor. It uses a Beetle ESP32 as the brains of the operation, which is hooked up with a DS1307 real-time clock to ensure it’s dosing out pills at the right time. It’s also wired up with a DRV8833 motor driver to allow it to run the gear motors. The DRV8833 can run up to four motors in unidirectional operation, so you can easily expand the pill dispenser up to four bins if so desired.

We particularly like how the pill dispenser is actually controlled — [Mellow_Labs] used the ESP32 to host a simple web interface which is used for setting the schedule on which each type of pill should be dispensed.

We’ve featured some other pill dispenser builds before, too.

Thanks to [Prankhouz] for the tip!

This past weekend, Richtech Robotics opened Clouffee & Tea, a coffee shop at the Town Square shopping center in its hometown of Las Vegas that features a robot barista named Adam.

Adam, a round white robot that emulates human movements, makes most of the beverages while one or two human workers prepare food items and replenish ingredients the robot has access to. Using Nvidia AI technology, the robot detects when customers are present, engages in conversation, takes orders and makes beverages including Americanos and lattes. Richtech expects to grow the brand by opening additional Clouffee & Tea locations featuring robot baristas in the future.

Richtech Robotics expects to expand Clouffee & Tea to dozens of locations in the next two to three years, but the company has larger ambitions than just operating a chain of robotic coffee shops. The company, which went public last year, has deployed more than 300 robots throughout the U.S., which are performing tasks at restaurants, retail stores, hotels, healthcare facilities, casinos, senior living homes and factories.

OpenAI is entering the final stages of designing its long-rumored AI processor with the aim of decreasing the company's dependence on Nvidia hardware, according to a Reuters report released Monday. The ChatGPT creator plans to send its chip designs to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) for fabrication within the next few months, but the chip has not yet been formally announced.

The OpenAI chip's full capabilities, technical details, and exact timeline are still unknown, but the company reportedly intends to iterate on the design and improve it over time, giving it leverage in negotiations with chip suppliers—and potentially granting the company future independence with a chip design it controls outright.

In the past, we've seen other tech companies, such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Meta, create their own AI acceleration chips for reasons that range from cost reduction to relieving shortages of AI chips supplied by Nvidia, which enjoys a near-market monopoly on high-powered GPUs (such as the Blackwell series) for data center use.

Researchers at the University of Oxford say they've achieved quantum teleportation — stitching together separate quantum computers to run an algorithm collaboratively, across a distance, in a "breakthrough" they say could lead to powerful quantum supercomputers.

The scientists linked two quantum processors that were six and a half feet apart using a "photonic network interface," as detailed in a paper published last week in the journal Nature.

The team, led by Oxford University Physics graduate student Dougal Main, hopes the achievement will lay the groundwork for a "quantum internet" of distributed ultra-secure processors.

It's not technically the first time scientists have demonstrated quantum teleportation. Previous research has shown that the states of quantum bits known as qubits — the equivalent of a conventional computer's bits, except they can be superimposed and entangled — can be transferred across physically separated systems.

"In our study, we use quantum teleportation to create interactions between these distant systems," said Main in a statement. "By carefully tailoring these interactions, we can perform logical quantum gates — the fundamental operations of quantum computing — between qubits housed in separate quantum computers."

"This breakthrough enables us to effectively 'wire together' distinct quantum processors into a single, fully connected quantum computer," he explained, essentially the equivalent of linking traditional computers to create a supercomputer.

Main and his team are hopeful that by using light to transmit data instead of electrical signals, they can overcome engineering obstacles involved in creating large quantum computers. Broadly speaking, the more qubits a quantum computer has, the more difficult it is to keep them in a stable state and reduce external noise.

"By interconnecting the modules using photonic links, the system gains valuable flexibility, allowing modules to be upgraded or swapped out without disrupting the entire architecture," Main explained.

"Our experiment demonstrates that network-distributed quantum information processing is feasible with current technology," principal investigator and Oxford physics professor David Lucas added.

But before quantum computers, let alone quantum supercomputers, can become a commonly used piece of equipment, researchers still have formidable hurdles to overcome.

"Scaling up quantum computers remains a formidable technical challenge that will likely require new physics insights as well as intensive engineering effort over the coming years," Lucas explained.

Beyond the technical limitations of building bigger quantum computers, scientists are still struggling to turn them into actually useful tools that solve functional calculations.

Nonetheless, researchers are hopeful that quantum computing systems could one day run calculations in just hours that today's supercomputers would take years to solve.

Recently, frontline AR solutions provider Vuzix debuted AugmentOS, a dedicated operating system for workplace immersive human-computer interfaces. The OS is ready for Vuzix’s portfolio of products, allowing end-users and developers to use products such as the Z100 smart glasses, which include AI functionality integration.

AugmentOS is debuting as version 1.0. The launchpad application will include real-time captions, instant translation, proactive AI assistance, smart notifications, AI dashboards, and language learning tools.

Vuix is developing the AugmentOS platform with partner Mentra in order to provide emerging opportunities to the former list of frontline customers.

Paul Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix, added:

The Z100 smart glasses are an ideal platform for AugmentOS. Our close collaboration with Mentra will accelerate developer adoption and innovation in the smart glasses industry, positioning Vuzix at the forefront of the AI-enabled wearable revolution.

On the developer side, the partners note how AugmentOS allows for the streamlined creation of enterprise-ready AR applications that work across the Vuzix hardware portfolio.  

“This is the moment where AI steps out of our phones and into our world,” Cayden Pierce, CEO of Mentra, also added. 

Pierce explained that by partnering with “an industry leader like Vuzix,” Mentra can create an AR platform where “AI can finally see what we see and understand our context in real-time.”  

Pierce explained: 

For the first time, multiple AI assistants can work together seamlessly to enhance our daily lives—right in our field of view,” said . “What excites me most about AugmentOS is how it brings AI-powered smart glasses to life today. Users get an incredible set of tools out of the box, while developers gain a frictionless way to build next-generation AI applications.

A Busy 2024 for Vuzix

Vuzix is launching 2025 with a fresh innovation via the AugmentOS launch. This follows a busy 2024 for the AR smart glasses leader, which set the stage for the new AI-ready operating system.

For example, Vuzix has strengthened its collaboration with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which broadens the deployment of its workplace AR smart glasses from this governmental organization.

Vuzix notes that this enhanced partnership with OSHA follows approximately two years of trials for the device in various OSHA settings, including worker training and device refinement. This preparation enables Vuzix to deploy the smart glasses for on-site inspections and foster collaboration among field personnel.

Additionally, last year was marked by hardware innovations from Vuzix, especially upgrading its smart glasses portfolio ahead of the OSHA expansion. The company introduced the Xtreme Smart Glasses Kit in August, specifically engineered to endure extreme weather conditions. This new kit features enhancements such as a lightweight, durable power bank for extreme weather. The power bank and the Xtreme Kit have an IP67 rating, indicating they are resistant to dust and water and can function within a temperature range of 20°C to 45°C.

Vuzix has released an upgraded version of the Android 13 operating system for its smart glasses, significantly enhancing the security of augmented reality wearables. This final version of Android 13 is now generally available and provides the highest level of protection for head-worn devices. The new software features of Android 13 include security updates, improved Wi-Fi networking, enhanced enterprise device management and permissions, and an updated Android API 33 for app developers.

Furthermore, Vuzix has announced the integration of Microsoft’s Intune, a cloud-based Mobile Device Management (MDM) service, to assist businesses in deploying hardware across their workforce. This integration will be implemented in Vuzix’s M-series of AR smart glasses, with the company receiving official certification from the Intune provider. This initiative aims to support the scaling and distribution efforts for customers already utilizing the MDM solution.

The various pushes forward led to Vuzix Corporation’s stock prices soaring last year, placing the veteran firm in a strong position and heading into what could be a busy year for smart glasses.
